    frame to mount bracket

    If you don't need a new bracket, and you want a nice original one, I can help with that.

    Got the Vortec V8, Now what?

    Got it back from the welder today. Now it is solid. Did a little grinding since I took these pics. He welded up my fender flare holes. Fortunately I could see where they were, so I drilled them out. Now I will check with the guy that does sand blasting . . . hopefully he still does. That's it...

    A tilt column will help.

    Got the Vortec V8, Now what?

    Finished the passenger side panel wheel well opening and got in in place. Made some patches . . . nothing too exciting. Everything is ready for welding. I can melt it and stick it, but I'll take it to my neighbor and get all the important stuff professionally welded. . .less warping and...

    Got the Vortec V8, Now what?

    Got the driver side drilled for the fender flare and clamped in place. To form the lip around the fender well, I clamped two pieces of steel plate together and hammered it down. Got the extra body to frame mounts positioned and bolted in place ready for welding. You can see the 3" channel they...

    Got the Vortec V8, Now what?

    Thanks for the Omix tip. Crown fender flares from JC Whitney and PartsHawk came with YJ rears. Another vendor sells Crown and states that they need modification. Crown must be packaging them this way now.

    Got the Vortec V8, Now what?

    Fitted a lot of smaller pieces between the two tub sections and covered up a lot with these two panels. Also added two more channels to the underside to tie the sections together. Working on an extra body mount on both sides. I did put the flange on the side panels. Need to drill the mounting...

    Got the Vortec V8, Now what?

    Got some more done. Cut out more old sheet metal to allow for one big piece to cover each side. Got a 4X8 sheet of 16 guage for $100. This is way less than buying two side panels that wouldn't be long enough. I didn't even see them listed anywhere anymore. Going to shape the fender well flanges...

    Got the Vortec V8, Now what?

    Got the body back to where all body bolts are in. Floor is matching up better. Underneath I clamped 2 channel iron sections in place to be welded. Had to stop and start leather covering a wheel for a Jeep shop. That's it for now.

    Got the Vortec V8, Now what?

    Been working on my extended Scrambler. Did the frame awhile back and have a rolling chassis. I cut the cab section off of a CJ-7 and the bed area off a really bad postal tub. Lots of work on the underside replacing sheet metal and caged body mount nuts. All stuff to make the two halves...

    Meet Red, my 81 Restomod Build

    It was a smokin' hot deal. And we watched you do it right. New owner is most of the way there without any of the dirty work.

    Current Scrambler pics

    Those are nice covers over what I expect are tow bar brackets. I haven't seen those before.

    Well finally start building

    Yes, some full metal doors had wind wings. Just another place for the wind to whistle. Fixed ones make less noise.

    Very cleaver. Others I've seen have just cut off the side of the door. Good thinking!

    Gas tank access looks great. Now how do you get into the glove box?

    Envious of your spray booth and stand for the tub. You do excellent work.

    The Elephant in the room - the new "Scrambler"

    Bell bottom pants were popular in the 1960s, and then they were out and back to straight leg ones. And then they came back again. I think Jeep was following the fad with the rectangular lights, and then the newness was gone, and back to round lights and straight leg pants again. As long as...
